Reborn is going to be funny when 2gd's dota audience tries to play it for a week and goes back to dota and the QL people play for a month and go back to QL or just quit gaming altogether.

I pay the money for it (as well as a subscription to ZLive) almost purely because I didn't want it to die as soon as I discovered it, which it's the FPS I always dreamed of and before I knew quake I was a lost lamb. Obviously it's me being hopeful and naive but you know.

I like made the choice because in 2012 or w/e when I realized how good it was and why I should be playing it instead of other games I also watched 3 separate QCon keynotes on Youtube where Carmack said it's basically an open wound for bethesda's money.

Plus I like being able to use the Kill Beep noise and the fancy scoreboard and don't care much about spending money to use it, as well as the funny zoot faces on twitch. Not like I'm regularly subscribed to anything else.

QL did add some neat UI features and you can customize the poo poo out of your config. Plus they added tons of server variables so you can have bizarro quake matches where shotguns punt people across the map. Although some people may be mad at the rebalancing of the rocket launcher and railgun both were lowered as to not one shot unarmored people. I don't remember if "pro" mode changed that or if it was just tiered armored, no footstep noises, and different air control. None of these indie projects to make arena shooters will work because all they are doing is copying Q3 and todays audience doesn't give a poo poo about that style of gameplay. If there aren't stats, unlockables, grindable poo poo, and homogenized weapon damage across every gun in the name of being fair, modern gamers (i.e. children) won't play it.

Yea, I think PQL is just the tiered armor and instant weapon switch and stuff but the damage on weapons is the same.

Nexuiz was extremely pretty and had some interesting weapons, it also had what was pretty much a mario kart mode where you'd collect an item and get a random buff/debuff, with some being mild (moonjump/rocket boots, reduced damage) and others turning off gravity for all players and poo poo. Now this sounds bananas but if there are more than 10 people playing the game online right now I will eat my own head.

Bongo Bill posted:The other day, RPS had an article about "Shootmania." What is this. It's a game where everyone has a rocket launcher unless they're in special zones where it changes into other weapons. You can go fast, there's a tile-based map editor, but it's not very fun to play. Also, they made changing game modes incredibly tedious and put paywalls on some of them.

Well it also isn't a good game but, strangely, it's got the concepts of the kind of stupid game that lots of people play for some insane reason.

the new unreal tournament game looks like it might have an interesting art style because they showed a video of a level and they went for a retro sci-fi kinda look like the first alien movie. seems like a good way to have visually interesting environmental design while still being clean enough to work for an arena fps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8Nlz7XonCs&t=92s
